Austerlitz

The game is a turn-based strategy and revolves around Battle of Austerlitz, where the forces under the command of Napoleon must defend the Austrian village of Austerlitz from the invading Austro-Russian army, led by Tsar Alexander. In the game, the battle itself begins at 7 am on 2 December 1805 and is played out in a series of turns. A turn lasts fifteen minutes and a total number of eight orders must be issued before the turn ends. The player may pick either French or Russian forces to control throughout the game.

In order to move a unit, the player must select them and point their cursor over the desired location; however, it is restricted within a turn. At the start of a movement phase, the player can issue a command to one of their units. Orders include move, attack, defend, shell, stay in reserve, retreat and report.

The game received mostly positive reviews upon release. John Highcliffe of The Games Machine praised the historical accuracy of the game, stating that players with an interest in the era would enjoy the game. However, Highcliffe expressed concern over the slow pace of the game. Alain Huyghes-Lacour of Tilt praised the game's graphics and 3D presentation of the battle, stating that it exceeded the benchmark set by other wargames.

Mark Higham of ST Format questioned the historical accuracy, stating that during the real battle, French forces used smoke grenades frequently, and criticised the lack of this inclusion in the game. However, Higham heralded the game as the best, saying that there is "no other wargame like it".
